A few weeks back we hosted our first Pillowcase Dress Event through my Moms group. Six wonderful ladies got together one afternoon to make dresses out of pillowcases that would be given to little girls in Africa. The idea of making these dresses is what first got my attention about human trafficking. You can read more about that in my very first post Awakening.
It was a small group and we completed a dozen dresses and had about 6 more just needing trim. We had a lot of laughs, but we also talked about the purpose for the dresses. There is something significant about using your hands to create something for a greater purpose. We may never see the effect these dresses will have on the little girls that receive them, but I can imagine the smile on their face when they are given what may be the only dress they own. It was a simple dress and easy to make, but the impact it could possibly have is tremendous. It could very well change that girls life and save her from a life of sexual slavery. I hope they feel loved when they receive their dresses because each and every one was definitely sewn with love.
